Episode 539: Charitable Institutions & Blood Diamonds
Manage episode 376726903 series 2281817
Maui is still in the news, because they are starved for tourist dollars. Why? Because right after the Lahaina fire, they said, “Stay away!”
Well, people did, and now businesses are hurting, and people are losing their jobs.
Good job, people who knee-jerk in reaction to something instead of thinking things through.
Also: Oprah and The Rock promoted a charity, and it turns out the organization has some awfully high overhead.
Up next, diamonds: they’re still a thing for some reason.
We’ve known forever that they’re a scam, an industry of plenty controlled by one company that artificially inflates the price, so why do people keep falling for the ruse? Well, maybe the tide is turning, because prices are dropping.
(And that’s a good thing.)
Finishing up: an idiot wants to cross the Atlantic Ocean in a hamster wheel, but for some reason the Coast Guard keeps arresting him, and Kim Kardashian pays tribute to the late, great singer of Smash Mouth, Steve Harwell.
Idiots on Parade: we mock the news, so you don’t have to.
